Chapter 1029: Checkup

 Dana quickly arrived within her shadow world, standing opposite the two familiar clones of herself. She closed her eyes, sensing their states, and let out a brief sigh. Unfortunately, they were unable to remain within the world while Dana herself was in the Admin Room. Otherwise, she would have kept them active to recover more. As it stood, neither they nor herself were fully recovered from the big fight against the ‘void god’.

 “At least we’re not going to need to fight urgently, so it should just take a couple days for us to get all patched up.” ra said with a faint chuckle, though Sienna tilted her head.

 “Digital Conversion, Admin?”

 Both Dana and ra looked over at Sienna, processing the meaning of her short words. Ever since she had chosen to be the ‘taciturn’ one, she had kept her words as brief as possible to convey her meaning. “You mean we should try to use the Digital Conversion system’s new admin ounts to supplement our recovery?” Dana asked, to which Sienna nodded her head.

 “It’s possible.” ra mused. “It would be too hectic to do in a fight, but as long as we don’t rush it, we can recover our ki and mana with that system! As for the damage to our spirits… well, we have our own ways of dealing with that.” As she said that, a small grin appeared on her face.

 Dana simply rolled her eyes, nodding. She focused, essing the Digital Conversion system to create arge number of Mage Heart and Blood Heart crystals, which manifested on the ground in between them. “This should be more than enough.” She nodded her head. While she didn’t make enough to return all three of them to their peak, she made enough that their natural recovery would do the rest soon.

 ra simply chuckled, picking up one of the red gems first and working to absorb it. “So what kind of project do you want to do, now that the big invasion is over?”

 Dana thought about that for a long moment. “You still have the file for the replicating drone, right?” She asked, to which ra nodded.

 “Wait, you’re not wanting to make another machine empire in the real world, are you? I don’t think that would work, given that pretty much any alien species was wiped out on V-Day.”

 When ra said that, Dana shook her head. “No, I don’t want a machine empire. I’ll leave that to the ‘head of research’. Someone’s going to want to check up on him soon, by the way. I was just thinking that you could apply them more actively to Sirius, now that the admin ounts were in ce.”

 “While you do that, I want to work on new crafting techniques. Now that Fragments of Acidia was reset, everyone lost the progress that they had in regards to faction quests. We still achieved some advancement from absorbing their technology, but I want to see if I can go beyond what they achieved in the game.”

 ra let out a faint whistle. “That’s a tall order. You going to do this solo, or?”

 Dana shook her head. “I’m confident in myself, but not that confident. For this one, I nned to visit Tubrock. The two of us together cane up with new crafting ideas. If possible, I would like to advance beyond them when it came to crafting divine armaments, at the very least.”

 “Sienna, I’ve got a mission for you as well.” Dana said, turning to look at Sienna.

 The familiar, meanwhile, simply tilted her head. “Replenish army?”

 “No, you can do that passively. I want you to work on a new type of troop. We know from Thelsa that it’s possible to create gods from the World’s Shadow if the user themselves is a god.”

 “Fallen Shadows?” Sienna asked suddenly, to which Dana nodded.

 “That’s right. I want you to try to make Fallen God shadows. If we have to face another enemy like the void god guy in the future, I want more forces that are specialized at fighting in the void.”

 Sienna simply nodded her head, epting her mission and clenching her fist in a guts pose. “Leave it to me.”

 I let out a faint sigh after we returned to Olympus, smiling towards Tsubaki. Now that I had at least done a rough check to get an idea of the situation… and resolved a potentially world-ending threat on another front, I had yet more business to take care of.

 “I’ll be returning to the Admin Room briefly. There’s no need to fast-forward, so I’ll be back soon.” I promised, to which Tsubaki nodded her head.

 “In that case, I shall explore Olympus and see if there are any new facilities that have been added.” She said with a respectful bow.

 I nodded my head, focusing on returning to the Admin Room. Once I was there, I sat down on the couch, opening up the guild chat. Most of those who had their own defensive battles to worry about wouldn’t be done yet, but it was still best to check in and let them know that I was finished.

 “Sure enough, it’s not very active right now…”

 EarthForceOne: Anyone around at the moment?

 EverLasting: Oh, hey! You made it through your defense already? Weren’t you up against RagnaRocker?

 EarthForceOne: That’s right. It was an intense battle for my people, but it was thankfully over without too much dy.

 EverLasting: Right, that’s the guy that loves to throw out the world enders, right? Those guys tend to do all their damage upfront.

 EarthForceOne: Yeah. And he had something that called itself a void god.

 EverLasting: A void god? You mean like a Fallen God?

 EarthForceOne: I wish it was that simple. No, it imed to be a void monster that had absorbed the essences of Fallen Gods enough that it became able to write its own rules.

 EverLasting: That is… troubling. I’ve never encountered something like that before. If I had to guess, I think that is a rather specialized unit that RagnaRocker is raising, so it should be hard for it to appear naturally.

 EarthForceOne: That’s good. I almost lost one of my best people because of it, and it dyed the end of the battle long enough for my worlds to be ravaged.

 EverLasting: Oh no… are you nning to reset?

 EarthForceOne: I had enough defenses, so the damage isn’t irreparable. But, I’m definitely not going to be finding any alien races with any of my worlds anymore.

 EverLasting: That’s a shame. Alien civilizations can be a great source of technological and cultural advancement. Still, the important thing is that you’re still safe. Are you nning to sell the information about the Void God to the Gilded Branch?

 EarthForceOne: I could, but… I don’t think the information would be all that valuable for just a single unit type, would it?

 EverLasting: If it were a normal unit, no. However, this sounds like a trump card. Going by their normal standard, they’d pay roughly fifty thousand points for information on a Rank 4’s trump card.

 My eyes widened when I saw that amount. Fifty thousand points may not be too significant of a number at this point in time for me, but it was still a nice bonus. Especially after I had just set Terra up with her new funds.

 EarthForceOne: Right, I’ll talk to them after this. How did your match go?

 EverLasting: I had a pass this month. My next opponent’s an old customer, so I don’t think that I have much to worry about.

 EarthForceOne: Right. By the way, do you have any games or anything to specifically help train people against the void? It’s something of a hot topic in my world for… what I consider as obvious reasons.

 EverLasting: Actually, I do! This one’s a bit different from the games that you’ve been getting until now, though.

 EarthForceOne: Oh? How so?

 EverLasting: Well, until now you’ve been getting massive online games. This game is meant to be yed by either a single yer or a small group. The genre ranges fromedy to horror, depending on the generated scenario. Basically, it randomly generates a world within a set of parameters that the yer decides. They can set themselves up with whatever type of life that they want, but there’s a twist.

 EverLasting: The world that is generated for them has a simted Void Beast infection. It is up to the yer to find the rules that govern the void beast in their instance. If it has a local banishment method, they are to find that and use it. Otherwise, when they identify the rules of the void beast, they submit it to the system.

 EverLasting: If they get the answer right, they clear the game and can choose to either keep their world to enjoy the life that they designed, or set up a new scenario. The danger and difficulty of the void beast directly corrtes to the scale of the life that they create. For instance, if they choose to create a scenario where they are the king of arge country, the beast may be either incredibly tricky to discover, or incredibly dangerous to fight.

 EarthForceOne: And if they submit the wrong rules?

 EverLasting: Game over. Don’t worry, they won’t die or anything. It just ends the scenario and forces them to start a new one.

 EarthForceOne: Sounds easy enough to understand. Is there anything else I need to know about it?

 EverLasting: The AI functions simrly to Fragments of Acidia, which you purchased before. Meaning that the significant characters in an individual’s life will be pulled from volunteer souls, while others will have their own generic AI temte. Aside from that… the price is a bit steep. In total, it’s a hundred and ten thousand. Most of that goes into the instanced world generation, I had to set up a number of custom systems to let the custom instance worlds get made.

 A hundred and ten thousand was a lot… but I felt like it might be worth it, especially after I get the points from Gilded Branch. That information alone would cover nearly half of the bill. More importantly, this would give enough a significant improvement to our foundation when dealing with void beasts.

 EarthForceOne: Thanks. I’ll talk to my people, but I think that I’ll probably be getting it. It sounds like the kind of thing that I could really use right now.

 EverLasting: Happy to help a loyal customer~!

 I chuckled as I ended themunication, focusing on sending a message to Balu next. It was time to let her know about the information. Hopefully, Sarah was right on her estimate.
